Fredrix Paint It Yourself Classroom Mural Cotton Canvas Rolls

Developed by Fredrix Artist Canvas and the Wyland Foundation, Paint It Yourself Classroom Mural Canvas uses art to teach young people about our forests and oceans, including their importance to the world as irreplaceable resources.

The medium-texture 100% cotton canvas is primed and ready for use with acrylic, tempera, or oil paints. Grommets make it easy to hang and display.

Each canvas includes a brochure containing an instructional tutorial by the marine artist and environmentalist, Wyland, as well as exclusive links to wildlife images, lesson plans, and other educational content.

The FOCUS program marks the first-ever outreach partnership between the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the renowned environmental artist and muralist, Wyland.

The campaign engages students across the United States about the role of our forests and ocean in regulating climate through art and science activities, online programs, student documentary films, and traveling exhibitions, with the goal of fundamentally changing the way communities see, understand, and care for our environment.

I've used these canvas murals for making large scale paintings in both Middle School and Elementary School. I like the grommets so that we can hang them easily on the wall without it being an expensive, stretched canvas. The canvas comes prepped already so you can just sketch on it and paint away! It's very easy.

I do wish there was a less-expensive option than the easel to make a firm backing for painting. But we've done fine using a lunchroom wall or painting on drop cloths on the floor. It'd be nice to be able to stand them up somehow. But for the price & making murals with kids this canvas can't be beat.
